Each year, the nonprofit Bay Nature Institute, based in Berkeley, recognizes three individuals who are making outstanding contributions to the understanding, protection and stewardship of the environment in the Bay Area.

This year, Full Circle Farm garden-based educator Cindy Moreno was recognized for her involvement with youth engagement.

A recent graduate of the environmental studies program at San Jose State University, Moreno is an energy outreach specialist for WattzOn, helping Spanish-speaking residents of the South Bay evaluate and reduce their energy consumption using the company's online tools.

She works as a guide for the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy, and she works part-time as a garden-based educator at Full Circle Farm in Sunnyvale, developing and delivering programs on healthy nutrition and sustainable food systems.
